We are building next-generation AI-native automation products for enterprise finance and Global Business Services (GBS). Our focus is on intelligent document and process automation, combining cutting-edge AI research with real-world enterprise applications. We work with global consulting firms and multinational clients, and are now expanding our leadership capacity in AI.

The Role:

We are seeking a Director of AI to act as a key leader in our AI organization—essentially a “mini-CTO” for AI. You will drive innovation, productization, and delivery of AI automation solutions, working across R&D, product, and customer success. This is a highly hands-on role, combining technical depth with leadership responsibilities.

What You’ll Do:

Lead applied AI research in LLMs, agent frameworks, RAG, embeddings, and multimodal document understanding.
Drive productization: transform prototypes into scalable, reliable SaaS and on-prem solutions.
Design and refine AI pipelines for automation (prompting, orchestration, validation, continuous learning).
Collaborate with Product, PS, and CS teams to ensure customer requirements translate into robust AI features.
Mentor and grow AI engineers, delivery specialists, and researchers; help define team structure.
Represent the company’s AI vision internally and externally, including with strategic partners and enterprise clients.
Balance experimentation and delivery: move fast, but with enterprise-grade quality.

Dein Profil

What We’re Looking For:

Deep hands-on expertise with LLMs, AI agents, RAG, embeddings, and orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP, etc.).
Strong track record in AI productization (building features beyond prototypes).
Experience with enterprise automation domains (finance, GBS, ERP systems like SAP/Oracle/Workday, etc.) is a plus.
Proven ability to work cross-functionally with Product, Engineering, and Delivery teams.
Leadership qualities: able to coach, mentor, and inspire a growing AI team.
Pragmatic builder: combines research curiosity with execution discipline.

Why Join Us:

Be at the forefront of AI-native enterprise automation.
Work with leading global clients and partners.
Shape the future of our AI organization and products.
Join a collaborative, ambitious, and international team
